The Tan & Beauty Salon

Avoid this salon, I’ve been a few times and there have been a handful of very nice therapists but unfortunately they don’t stay for very long for the same reasons this salon should be avoided. Unless you simply want a 5 minute sunbed… then it’s perfect! Rude, unfriendly, unstable owner, some rude/​bitchy staff, treatments inconsistent, not always clean. They do offer some treatments no other places offer locally and they occasionally do have nice therapists and that’s why I’ve been a few times. However the reason you will find lots of marketing for this salon (ie new website and branding at least twice in last 5 years, plus a pointless app) Is because they don’t keep clients so they have to continuously get new clients. And after a year you forget that your last treatment and experience was bad and so you book something and think what could be so bad. … then you go and remember why you had nt been for a year… its happened to me 3 or 4 times unfortunately!

I’ve been to this beauty salon a number of times and I really don’t know why I’ve gone back.
Their health and safety is terrible. Every time I’ve gone for a wax the therapist has never worn gloves. I had my eyebrows done and the girl hadn’t even washed her hands because they stank of marmite and it even made my skin smell of marmite after the treatment which was repulsive.
I swore I would never go back, but my current beauty therapist had to cancel on me before my holiday, which meant I needed to book a bikini wax with someone else. I strictly wanted sugaring waxing because of my sensitive skin and Tan & Beauty are the only other salon I know of who offer this. When I called I strictly stated sugaring waxing. When I went in for the treatment I confirmed I was having a sugar wax. The girl started the wax and actually used hot wax, which is a completely different treatment. She clearly thought I didn’t know the difference, however I have an NVQ Level 2 in beauty therapy. To add insult to injury she tested it on her wrist, said it was far too hot, then only waited a matter of seconds before testing on my skin. It was far too hot, burned me, and then she waited only another minute before testing on me again. It was again far too hot. As she took the wax off it ripped my skin and I started bleeding (as I said before she wasn’t wearing gloves so she could have caused an infection or passed anything she was carrying to me).
As a result I asked her to switch to the regular wax. She did a bad job and left quite a few hairs. To her credit she did ask if it was OK, but I was so traumatised by the experience I didn’t want her to continue. To make matters worse I have now been left with 3 ingrown hairs, despite exfoliating.
I have also gone in for a spray tan and was not asked when booking if I’d had a spray tan before and therefore was not told to avoid moisturising, so I was left with a blotchy tan and then told off by the manager (who did the tan) for wearing moisturiser and causing the blotchy tan! Not a great look on holiday!
Please do yourself a favour and avoid, avoid, avoid!

I use these for regular botox and beauty treatments and i love going there evertime! All of the staff are extremely friendly, warm and welcoming carrying out professional and brilliant treatments everytime. I will definitely carry on using them!
